Dear Colleague, The
Natural Language Processing Group of the Computer Science and Engineering
Department, IITBombay has developed
the HindiWordnet which is a crucial
resource for NLP involving Indian Languages. The resource follows the Princeton
Wordnet's design, but incorporates Hindi specific features. There are more than 25000 synsets
and about 58000 words in the lexical database. Synsets are linked with all
conventional lexical and semantic relations as well as some Hindi specific relations.

There has been a great demand
for this resource which has been created mainly through government support. We
decided to make it freely downloadable for research purposes.
